So Captain Alexandria and her crew return from a deep space mission with the knowledge that centuries will have passed in their absence and the world they left will be incredibly different.

They learn via a space transmission that earth fell into nuclear war, the debris from this spinning towards them in a huge asteroid field. After dodging through this they fall into a worm hole and get transported millions of years through time.

Earth is completely altered. They are saved from giant predators by the fierce Amazonianesque women of the Takuru; A matriarchal race of women who have evolved stronger than the males. The male is therefore subservient and has to be protected by the females. It’s all very caveman/ancient egypt themed with loin cloths and a lot of nudity.

The Takuru live In fortresses which protect them from the other sentient race on the planet: the Xandi; A vampire-like race of shapeshifters who have fangs, slit eyes and wings. They are a patriarchal society who steal Takaru women and hypnotise them into sex slaves. Cool!

50% of the story focuses on the space voyage and crash landing and the crew’s interaction with the Takaru. Eventually Alexandria is hailed as the prophesied queen of the Takaru and promptly kidnapped by the enemy.

Only then do we get the sexy times as she is ‘broken’ by Malik; the immortal leader of the Xandi. Half vampire human, half giant monster thing, wearer of thigh-high leather skirts and knee-high boots. Queue sexy monster times as he makes Alex submit to him. We are talking a bit of kneeling and collars and leashes etc... nothing extreme. Not really my thing but I liked that Alex never gave in mentally to this and was quite practical throughout.

This story was less smutty than I expected but I actually really enjoyed the story. It was interesting and I had no idea what was going to happen. A real page turner. It felt quite upbeat and it had a surprisingly soppy ending. A good read!
